A snake catcher has captured the terrifying moment a massive carpet python was found lurking beneath an outdoor pool deck.

Federal Member for Wide Bay and Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives Llew O‘Brien said the water mains system would be upgraded in Channon Street, Cogan Street, Hughes Terrace, Jane Street, and Tweed Lane, as one of nine Local Economic Recovery projects in bushfire-affected communities across Queensland.
“This is a significant upgrade to Gympie’s water infrastructure, upgrading a number of water mains across the region to provide a secure and reliable water service for residents and supply sufficient water pressure for firefighting,” Mr O’Brien said.
“This will benefit local households and businesses, and ensure firefighters can access the water pressure they need to help them extinguish any blazes that may occur.”
